Icardi's River Plate claim: Club expected to call
According to Argentine journalist Yaca Solveyra, Mauro Icardi wants to play for River Plate and is waiting for a call from the club's management. No agreement has been officially reached between the parties.
River Plate's attack is not producing the expected output. The only player Leonardo Ponzio can count on as a definite starter at the moment is Angel Correa. With Lucas Beltran, Rafael Santos Borre and Sebastian Driussi falling short of expectations, the club's management has turned to alternative options.
In this context, the name of Mauro Icardi has come to the fore. Speaking on Picado TV, Yaca Solveyra said that Icardi wants to play for River Plate and is waiting for a call from Stefano Di Carlo about the number 9 shirt for next season. According to the journalist, Boca Juniors also called Icardi, but the player did not warm to the offer.
Solveyra claimed that Icardi has turned down significant offers from Europe and wants to stay in Argentina. The same statement said the player is willing to accept a salary far below the wage he was asking for six months ago. Icardi's contract with Galatasaray has ended, and it is not yet clear which club he will continue his career with. Serie A clubs are also being linked with him.
It remains to be seen how River Plate's management will act on Icardi. However, no agreement has been officially reached between the parties.
